Hero Mode makes its comeback, making it easier for even new and casual players to use powerful and exhilarating attacks and advance through the game. This mode can be temporarily activated at any time via PS Vita's intuitive rear touch pad.

The popular gameplay option from NINJA GAIDEN Σ Plus is back! If Hero Play Style is selected, Hayabusa will be given certain temporary fight advantages whenever he gets low on health.

Upon activation, the Ultimate Ninja becomes even more unstoppable with auto-block, auto-evade, and increased damage output and dismemberment rates. Gain back the upper hand in a tough situation without losing a moment of the action!

Compete with enemies at a breakneck "super-high speed" and be the first to reach your goal in the all-new "Ninja Race" mode.

Pick up items to speed up or get more time on the clock as you charge through a level.

Ayane, Rachel, and Momiji take center stage in newly-designed costumes.

The unique new "Tag Missions" mode allows players to switch between their favorite leading lady and Hayabusa in real-time while defending the AI-controlled partner. Use the character best suited to each situation for a more exciting action game experience.
